Suwon City Extends Operation of 'Safe Accommodation' to Prevent COVID-19 Spread

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province will extend the operation of the "Safe Accommodation," the first of its kind nationwide, introduced to prevent the spread of COVID-19 caused by overseas arrivals.

On the 4th, Suwon City announced that it decided to extend the operation of the Safe Accommodation, which was initially planned to be temporarily operated until the end of last month, until the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Ibis Ambassador Hotel, which was previously operating as a Safe Accommodation, will terminate the service due to internal construction and other reasons.

On the other hand, Suwon City has additionally designated the Holiday Inn Express Suwon Ingye Branch as a Safe Accommodation.

Currently, there are a total of five Safe Accommodations available for Suwon citizens: Value High-End, Courtyard Marriott, Novotel Ambassador, Ramada Plaza Hotel, and Holiday Inn Express Suwon Ingye Branch.

Since March 27, these Safe Accommodations have signed agreements with Suwon City to offer up to a 70% discount when used by families of overseas arrivals.

A total of 410 families used the Safe Accommodation service during the one month period until the end of last month since the service began.

Yeom Tae-young, Mayor of Suwon City, stated, "We will continue to operate the Safe Accommodation until the COVID-19 outbreak is completely over."
